Neverwinter Nights 2 Officially Announced

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday August 4, 2004 @07:04AM from the many-miles-away dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Looks like Atari has just announced Neverwinter Nights 2, to be developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the same ex-Black Isle folks who are making Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic 2 in conjunction with BioWare. However, it's 'scheduled for release in 2006', so we've got a while to wait." A post on the Obsidian forums has a single piece of concept art, and it's confirmed that "[Original developers] BioWare will provide tools, technology, and game assets from the original Neverwinter Nights as well as lend creative input and oversight to the development process."

NWN 2? I guess... by KeeperS · 2004-08-04 07:16 · Score: 5, Informative

I'm a fan of NWN and all, but is a sequel really needed? I was under the assumption that Bioware's Dragon Age was going to be the spiritual successor to NWN.

All of the files are cross-platform. If you have the mac version of NWN, you could have installed the PC expansions and had it work flawlessly months ago. More information can be found here.
